Daming kill

Chapter 15 Settling for the South
Li Ping, who was swaying, did not sleep soundly. He often woke up with a start. He was always worried that he would fall, and the woman in his arms often moved around.

But Li Ping was not ashamed to blame Gao Lei, on the contrary, he was very ashamed.Gao Lei's back was already soaked, but she still endured it silently. Fortunately, the clothes of the two of them were not very dirty, so they didn't become muddy at last.

Although he didn't feel well, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, and he was still in a soft environment. Li Ping could clearly feel his body's vitality gradually recovering.

It's nice to be young!

After taking a few sips of water and washing his face during the break, Li Ping decided not to mount the horse again, and Gao Lei breathed a very obvious sigh of relief immediately.

When Li Ping paid more attention to the surrounding teams, he quickly noticed that today's march was only half a day, and the inside and outside of the sentry were no longer so clearly distinguished, and the front and back became closer together. a lot.

Some people were even in high spirits and talked and laughed.

Is it possible that there is such a change just out of danger?Li Ping always felt that something was wrong.

After asking Duanqiang suspiciously, he realized that it was Zhao Jin's method again.

This morning, before Li Ping woke up.

Zhao Jin called together those unknown Ming soldiers, and announced in public that he would continue to provide them with food, because they were Paize, and Zhao Jin was willing to share their blessings and difficulties with them.So these unknown Ming soldiers naturally became elated, and all praised Zhao Jin for his benevolence.

While eating, Zhao Jin also analyzed to the army that the possibility of the bandit army chasing them was extremely low, so everyone naturally became more enthusiastic.After eating, many people took the initiative to listen to Zhao Jin's arrangement.

Only then did Li Ping suddenly realize, and he secretly admired Zhao Jin's ability to win over and appease, but he also felt that Zhao Jin seemed to have intentions to capture this army.

Xu Shi noticed that Li Ping might not plan to sleep anymore, Song Baolai finally ran over with the horse unwilling to be lonely, and asked Gao Lei to transfer to save the horsepower of Li Ping's horse.

Song Baolai seemed to have turned into a nagging ghost. It might be because he was overwhelmed in the past two days, or it might be because of the release of the stress after the catastrophe, and this guy didn't shy away from Gao Lei at all.

It was only then that Li Ping figured out that, unlike yesterday when they all rode around the large herd of horses, Song Baolai was found by Zhao Jin this morning to make it clear that he, Liu Shixiong, and Yang Meiling would jointly manage the large animals.Song Baolai was mainly responsible for taking care of the large animals, and the couple were mainly responsible for distributing food and other materials on the large animals.

As for the dozen or so soldiers leading the large animals, except for a few who were from their own posts, the rest were all activists who had just been recruited in the morning.

Song Baolai also made a special self-deprecating sentence because of this: "I'm just a person mixed with sand, ha ha."

Li Ping was a little surprised at first, and then slowly turned the corner. This was obviously Zhao Jin's method again, and Song Baolai, who seemed simple and honest, was also not stupid.

The balance and layout seem to have come a little too fast, but it seems that there is no way to do it. As the leader of this team, Zhao Jin will be a disaster if he does nothing.

However, Song Baolai was more focused on complaining. He almost ranted about the Ming army's incompetence and mental retardation, and unabashedly poured out the fright and despair he had suffered in the past two days.

Then, he turned to Liu Shixiong and Yang Meiling.

According to Song Bao, the two couples had a few awkward fights in the past two days alone, especially Liu Shixiong's horse riding was so-so, to be precise, his mule was so so-so, maybe he had only ridden a few times before. Bringing his wife with him naturally had bumps and bumps, and the two had a lot of disagreements over this.

Moreover, the two couples had a lot of opinions about Li Ping and Song Baolai's ability to get a horse each, and they provoked Song Baolai with weird words several times.

Ever since Shi Ming suggested that they should take care of the supplies on these large animals this morning, the voices of the two of them have increased a lot in an instant, not at all like the frightened birds they were before yesterday.

Song Baolai also said a few words to the driver Li Shengcai.

This guy doesn't know how to ride a horse, and his body is fairly strong. It seems that he has suffered a lot, but he has a big spectrum and can pretend.It turned out that he always used the name of Shi Ming to find trouble for him. This morning, he asked the soldiers to serve him from the time of eating and drinking, and he really regarded himself as a famous person.

It is estimated that these three people have made Song Baolai less angry these days, which is why they became the target of being sprayed, but Song Baolai didn't say anything to Wang Chengwu and Shi Ming, who were supposed to be more violent.

Maybe Song Baolai has scruples about the real overlord, maybe it's because the King of Hades is better than the kid.

Listening to Song Baolai's babbling, Gao Lei looked surprised. Maybe she didn't hear Song Baolai say so much these days, so she kept lowering her head to look around.

And Song Baolai didn't care, and unexpectedly teased Gao Lei: "You didn't speak a few days ago, and you looked so scary. I thought you were crazy! What do I have to say to you? I just watched you today." But your complexion is much better, it’s comfortable to ride with my brother? If my brother gets tired at some point, how about I take you for a ride?”

Gao Lei's face flushed with anger, she raised her head and ignored him for a long time.

After going crazy and complaining for a long time, Song Baolai obviously relaxed a lot, but because his current main job is to take care of the livestock, so after staying for a while, he still rode to the front to inspect.

As soon as Song Baolai left, Zhao Jin came to talk again.But looking at Gao Lei, he was obviously hesitant to speak.

However, Zhao Jin still told Li Ping about the personnel adjustments he made in the morning.Only these, Li Ping already knew from Song Baolai.

The difference is that Zhao Jin specifically mentioned the reason why Shi Ming was in charge of Captain Wang's team. He really wanted to find some balance for Shi Ming and the others, and he didn't have to worry about the resistance of those soldiers, after all. It is more convincing for the acting captain of the Zhao family's personal guard to continue to guard Ms. Zhao full-time.

"Are you thinking about capturing this army?" Li Ping asked suddenly.

Zhao Jin was taken aback for a moment, but his face darkened immediately. He looked at Gao Lei, who was pretending to be indifferent immediately, and then at Li Ping, who was indifferent. He hesitated for a while before saying: "Yes I have some ideas, but I haven't figured it out yet."

After that, Zhao Jin eagerly asked Li Ping about his thoughts on the future, but Li Ping didn't think about it at all, so he had to talk about all the roads in his mind first, and it was considered as a reference for Zhao Jin .

"Are you just a security guard?" Gao Lei asked abruptly after Zhao Jin left. She must have been a little confused by Li Ping's knowledge of so much history.

"I have a lot of free time, so I read more idle books, but I didn't read well." Li Ping chuckled.

Gao Lei didn't ask any more questions. Even the person who is not clear about the year [-] or [-] seems to be reading idle books.

Li Ping, who had finally calmed down, began to gradually put more energy on the groups of soldiers who were marching forward. He also had to perform his duties as the captain and help everyone more. He controlled this team well, so don't make trouble for Zhao Jin.

After all, they are still in a hurry.

It's just quite helpless that Gao Lei still refuses to let others lead her horse alone, which also prevents Li Ping from helping with more things, so he can only observe and meditate more for the time being.

Fortunately, the surrounding environment has always been very calm, and the current group of soldiers who have just survived the catastrophe don't need them to spend too much attention.

Although the team is still a bit chaotic, most of the people who can escape are strong people. Even old guys like Hu Zhongshan are very stiff. After nearly a day and a half of rest, their physical strength and energy have recovered. There are a lot of food and drink, so naturally they will follow the team closely.

There are nearly 300 people and dozens of large animals. Such a group of people and horses gathered together is quite bluffing, at least if you look at it in the crowd, it is densely packed.This is not a small team!

Yes!There are quite a few horses in their group!

Li Ping suddenly became enlightened.

They obviously have a ready-made way, why should they go far away!So, he immediately asked the big stupid Liu San to call Zhao Jin.

When Li Ping confides all his thoughts, Zhao Jin, who has been listening silently, touched his chin for a while and finally nodded and said: "Tonight, we all discuss together. Think again, I'll think about it again. Whether they get together is up to them."

Then, Zhao Jin looked back with a complicated look at Gao Lei, who was always listening to him, and discussed with Li Ping the routine used in the evening discussion.

After Zhao Jin left, Li Ping looked back and saw Gao Lei staring at him playfully, so he shrugged and said, "Think about it too."

In the evening, after eating at the campsite, people from different time and space were gathered together by Zhao Jin.

If I don't know, I was surprised when I said it.

The empire that is about to collapse, the vast land of China, the barbaric Qing Dynasty, the bandit-like peasant army, the successive terrorist massacres, the sharp decline of civilization, and the same chaotic world, etc., when these real histories are told by Li Ping When it was said, everyone's expression suddenly changed, which greatly exceeded their poor historical cognition, even Zhao Jin and Gao Lei, who had heard some of it in advance, frowned.

When Zhao Jin hadn't recovered from Li Ping's historical popularization, Shi Ming unexpectedly expressed his opinion first: "It is definitely safest to go south at present. We must stay away from this war zone, but how to survive?" It is indeed a big trouble. It is reasonable to say that soldiers in troubled times are masters, and the only way to be safest is to rely on the army, but looking at the battle in Zhuxian Town, we are currently only qualified to be cannon fodder. I am not too sure about other ways. Look good, it's really worrying!"

Although the rhythm was disrupted, Shi Ming's words paved the way for Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin just went on to teach everyone the various roads and gloomy prospects that Li Ping talked about during the day, which further hit everyone's expectations. mood.

At this time, Li Ping talked about Zuo Liangyu in his memory at the request of Zhao Jin.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful official army group, the most loosely managed warlord force, the scum army that would not suppress bandits but only robbed the people, and a cowardly army that stalked the Yangtze River to avoid war...

"If Li Ping's memory is correct, and if history hasn't changed, then Zuo Liangyu escaped with his life this time, and will likely avoid war for a long time because of this. Huge army, loose management, and located in the south where there are fewer wars , or the government army, isn’t this the best place to stay now? And we are still his subordinates, so wouldn’t it be more convenient to continue mixing in it!” Zhao Jin clearly put forward his opinion.

"It's very feasible. Zuo Liangyu's defeat this time, very few people can escape. Most of the nearly 300 people here should also become unarmed soldiers. If we can absorb them all, we will be promoted It shouldn’t be a problem for the sentry to be the general. The most important thing is that if you want to quickly raise your status and gain strength in a feudal society that attaches great importance to birth and blood, I am afraid that the only shortcut is the field army of the government army.” Li Ping not only said immediately In support, supplements and further interpretations are provided.

As soon as Li Ping stopped, Zhao Jin stood up and continued: "That's right, Zuo Liangyu's army must be running low this time. It's the time when there is a shortage of people, and he can't do without veterans if he wants to reorganize the army. We As long as these soldiers can be brought back to him, it is very likely that they will be reused. As long as we are careful enough and manage well, we will not only be relatively safe in the next few years, but we may also hold an army independently. When it comes time to choose, Whether it is to seek refuge in the Qing army or to go overseas to create a new world, we also have capital. Even if history is messed up and Zuo Liangyu dies, we are an official army after all, and there is nothing wrong with going south. With so many veterans, no army Naturally, everyone is vying for it..."

Shi Ming's eyes lit up at this time, and his head kept nodding along with Zhao Jin and Li Ping's singing. He obviously agreed with Zhao Jin's proposal.

"If Du Guerrilla is not dead, what about Zhao Lanyue?" Gao Lei suddenly asked a devastating question at this moment, and the woman really thought about it.

Zhao Jin was a little dazed on the spot, and this question was obviously ignored.

"Let her pretend to be ill first. If Du Guerrilla is not dead, we will let Zhao Lanyue die of illness. Of course, she is not really dead. We can hide her and make plans later." Li Ping hurried out to save the scene.

He really thought about this issue, but he was immature and forgot to discuss it with Zhao Jin.

Zhao Lanyue, who was arranged for such a fate, gave Li Ping a very resentful look, but strangely did not express any opinion.

"We should be very close to Xuzhou (today's Xuchang). Should we go to Xuzhou or go directly to Xiangcheng? It's just that the Ming army and the peasant army in these places are also intertwined. Will Zuo Liangyu stay?" Shi Ming glanced at Zhao Lanyue After asking hesitantly, he had already started thinking about voting for Zuo Liangyu.

"Xuzhou is surrounded by plains, and there is no danger to defend; Xiangcheng was almost destroyed by Li Zicheng a while ago, so it can't hold on. Zuo Liangyu has no soldiers, so it is impossible to stay in these two places. South, at least we have to retreat to Nanyang to be safe, then we will continue to go south." Zhao Jin replied firmly.
